Home Study - Confirmation

Given that Homestead has temporarily pivoted to virtual learning, ALL high school students will be completing the November 1st class at home.  There are no in person classes on November 1st. 

We strongly encourage you to complete these lesson plans as a family as they can lead to some wonderfully fruitful conversation, however they can be done individaully as well. 

All high school students enrolled in in-person learning and home-study learning are asked to complete the November lesson and submit their reflection sheets to me by the end of November. Instructions are included in the lesson plans. 

Reflection Sheets can be submitted via email at krolla@lumenchristiparish.org or dropped off in high school bins in the Home Study area, located to the right of the main stairs leading up to the Church. 

9th, 10th, and 11th (Confirmation) will all be completing the same lesson plan for November. 

Below you will find the following:

If your student has not yet completed their October lesson plan, please have them do so ASAP and submit the reflection back. Reflection sheets are due by the end of October. 

Reflection Sheets can be submitted via email at krolla@lumenchristiparish.org or dropped off in high school bins in the Home Study area, located to the right of the main stairs leading up to the Church.

Throughout the year, we will be using multiple different platforms to watch Catholic videos.  I will either send the video in our emails or they can be accessed on our parish subscription to FORMED.  Attached you will find the log-in information for FORMED. This is a free resource for you that the parish has bought a subscription to.  Please have you student sign up for FORMED so that they can watch this week’s lessons.

Below you will find the following:

• October lesson plan
• Participant Guide/Reflection Sheet (to be submitted to Amy)
• Parent Guide should you want more resources to discuss with your students after the lesson.
• FORMED log-in instructions. 

If at any point you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!

Confirmation has their own set of lesson plans that focus specifically on the Sacrament of
Confirmation.

There are two lessons that high schoolers will participate in each month:

• The first lesson plan a month should be completed at home together as a family. 
  • These lesson plans will be sent out on the first Sunday of each month that the in-person high school classes are meeting.  The first lesson was sent out via email  on Sunday, October 4^th. 
  • The lesson plans can also be accessed online under our life-long formation tab-high school-home study.
• The second lesson will be completed virtually via zoom and will be a small group session. 
  • The zoom will consist of a video lesson and discussion in a small group of peers.
  • Please use the following link to sign your student up for their zoom sessions.

High school students choosing the home option will still need to complete or participate in the following:

• 10 hours of service throughout the formation year and the service reflection sheet OR an alternative service option.
• Their corresponding grade level retreat. All retreats are required. If you cannot attend the retreat on the dates provided, an alternative retreat will need to be completed. I can assist you with finding a different retreat option if needed. Dates for all retreats are in  2021.
• Mass of Enrollment with Sponsor Meeting (See schedule)
• Parent/Student Confirmation Meeting (See Schedule)
